00:00 The reason Dolly Parton called Sylvester Stallone an ungrateful son of a bitch.

00:04 A role in 1984's Rhinestone might have scored Dolly Parton two top ten country hits, but

00:10 her appearance in the musical comedy film alongside Sylvester Stallone didn't save

00:14 it from commercial failure.

00:15 While it was universally panned, Parton's time on set was enjoyable, and she and Stallone

00:19 became great friends.

00:21 That being said, there was a brief moment they weren't.

00:23 While shooting an alleyway scene through a cold night, Parton and Stallone were warmed

00:27 by heaters and blankets on set.

00:29 But Parton noticed a man shivering next to some bins, instantly grabbing one of her shawls

00:33 to wrap around him.

00:34 In her autobiography, Dolly, My Life and Other Unfinished Business, she recalled Stallone

00:39 stopping her.

00:40 "Just as I wrapped the shawl around the man, Stallone walked up and jerked it away," she

00:43 wrote.

00:44 "Don't you put that good shawl over that scum," he said.

00:46 "He could have made something of himself.

00:48 We did."

00:49 Parton, feigned for her Southern pragmatism and work ethic, took Stallone to task for

00:53 it.

00:54 After grabbing the shawl back, she stood nose to nose with him, saying, "That could have

00:58 been you, you ungrateful son of a bitch, except by the grace of God.

01:02 Who knows, it could be an angel sent to show you what you really are."

01:05 Stallone was said to have rectified things the next day, and a crew member let Parton

01:09 know he bought the man a blanket by way of an apology.

01:12 Stallone, who already had great chemistry with Parton, seemed to respect her more for

01:16 her no-nonsense approach.

01:17 The actor described her as an "incredible woman" in a Q&A with Ain't It Cool News

01:22 when he recalled another time she'd given him such advice.

01:25 "I remember in the early '80s when I was sitting in a hotel room feeling sorry for

01:28 myself.

01:29 Actors do that a lot.

01:30 It's actually considered a sport in Hollywood.

01:33 Self-loathing," he said.

01:34 "Anyway," she called, and we began a conversation that lasted at least two hours, and by the

01:39 time I hung up, I thought she was the most amazing person I'd ever spoken to.

01:43 Parton forgave his misstep on set and echoed his sentiments in her book, writing that no

01:47 matter how big a financial disaster Rhinestone was, it was not all bad for her.

01:52 Sylvester Stallone made me laugh at a time when I really needed it.

01:55 "I have found no therapy more effective than laughing, although in this case, there

01:59 were probably less expensive ways to get it," she joked.

02:02 "Movies may come and go, but life is something we buy a ticket to every day, and it doesn't

02:06 come with popcorn," she wrote.

02:07 "To me, Stallone was better than popcorn.

02:10 He was full of life and very healthy for me to be around."

02:13 Dolly Parton does not regret never being a mother.

02:15 The country music icon has been married to her husband, Carl Dean, for more than half

02:19 a century and is at peace with not having kids because of the cherry work she does with

02:23 youngsters.

02:24 Dolly told You magazine, "I'm almost kind of glad.

02:27 I look now at all the work I do with children, and I think, 'God didn't let me have children

02:31 so everybody's children could be mine.'

02:33 We're able to be generous.

02:35 We can do more for one another."

02:36 The singer explained last month that she felt relief that she did not have to bring up children

02:40 in the modern world.

02:42 Dolly told Mojo magazine, "It seems like we're not making any progress.

02:45 Nobody's willing to listen to anybody else.

02:47 Everything is out there.

02:49 Kids know everything.

02:50 They see everything.

02:51 They hear everything.

02:52 We have to discuss stuff.
